The reason i got this machine is because i need it for working on a architectural vizualisation done with 3ds max corona renderer, and i need to do it urgently (my old computer had 32gb that wasnt enough).

After picking up the computer from the shop i came home and started running the project on 3ds max and tried to render. The render was superfast comparing to the old setup, until 10 minutes after when i got the dpc_watchdog_violation screen on windows and it crashed. I started learning the problem and updated all drivers, from chipset to bios, and still the problem continues.

At some point after reading some crash reports i thought that perhaps the cpu is overheating (when running on voltage 1.4-1.5 variable on bios and temperatue between 40-60c) i decided to set voltage to 1.3 constant, that helped the watchdog violation crash but 3ds max started crashing on its own.

Eventually i ran a prime95 stress test, that after 10 minutes crashed with dpc_watchdog_violation exactly as it happened on 3ds max when rendering.

Does anyone have any idea what can be the issue? is it cpu? or memory?
